Did I forget to say my brother and I look alike? If I did, well we do the difference is only that he's brilliant and his ash gray hair is deeper than mine slightly.
I stopped up thinking of where Sapphire would find my brother...
Music room!
I walked inside and sat down on a comfortable chair, picking a guitar, I stroke a chord.
I'm so talented.
I heard the door open and I turned, it was her.
" I've been looking for you every where." She said
" I've been in here." Every where went silent only the sounds of my notes echoing. Claude never starts a conversation neither does he know how to keep one so I kept quiet waiting for her to speak.
" Look", she said after a while," I'll get to the point, I don't like the way you're ignoring me and I know it's intentional. I don't get it, you're not taking us seriously." Sapphire said.
" How am I not taking us seriously?" I asked trying so hard not to laugh.
" Stop the act, what are we? You know how I feel about you, Claude."
" We're friends Sapphire, about your feelings, I really don't know."
" So you're just gonna ignore me? What's wrong with you Claude?" I didn't know if they were real but she was tearing up.
" Wow, I thought I had someone." She continued.
" It's not something to cry about."
" So what's gonna happen to us?"
" Don't you get it, Sapphire, there's no us." She breathed heavily cleaning her face and turning away.
" You've changed a lot though. Thanks for your time." She walked out.
That was easier than I thought.
The door opened after a while and Claude's dumb friends Adam and Derek walked in.
" Claude can't even do shit himself. He had to ask this fool to do it for him." Adam said foolishly, they were always foolish .
" Just get out." I muttered and was about to walk away when, as expected, Adam , who's always felt he's some kind of Bruce lee, pulled me back and I instinctively aimed for his nose.
" Fuck!" He yelled covering his nose.
" What the fuck, dude?!" Derek yelled and I walked out, such fools.
I walked straight to the back and sat on the grass bringing my phone out.
" Salvadore." I heard someone call, I turned and it was Sapphire, How'd she know it was me now?
" Calhoun." She called for confirmation
" Hey what's up?" I tried to sound casual.
" Nothing much. Claude and I just broke up." She said
Were you ever dating? I almost asked.
" Oh , shit..." I pretended to be surprised, " I thought you guys were really close."
" I guess we thought wrong." She said
We? Ha!
" I gotta go." She said and just left.
" Hey, kid." I heard
I looked around but no one was there.
" No, up here." The person said and I looked up, nothing.
" Are you that dumb? Am I hanging in the air?"
I was confused to th me core.
" In your head, dummy."
" How are you talking in my head?" I found myself asking.
" Is that a question?"
" Yes." My reply came as a whisper
" I told you I liked complements earlier."
" I thought that was my subconscious."
" Oh, come on dummy."
" If you're not my subconscious then what are you?"
